See, a country not agreeing to join the USA in a misguided war with no end game planning is not being traitorous, because they aren’t Americans.

On the evening of 9/11, Netanyahu mused to the NYT about whether Americans would blame Israel for what happened. (Netanyahu well knew US support motivated al Qaeda.) You have to wonder how concerned he is now.

The NYT didn't print this, tho β€” the reporter revealed it 10 years later.

Politico has confirmed two things from CENTCOM.

1. Trump has no plan for how to end this war (that actually might be the plan).

2. Even if we started scaling back today, the military won't be able to withdraw from Iran until September 2026.

Note: No clear objective has been declared.

Young Republicans repeatedly getting busted for group chats filled with violent racism, anti-Semitism, & misogyny. The latest involves the Miami GOP Sec. & the Pres. of Turning Point USA FIU.

I’ve got the horrid details & thoughts on why the GOP’s future is in the gutter.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife and The Conservation Fund Acquire Pristine Wildlife Habitat in Gilpin and Boulder Counties Today, Governor Jared Polis, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), and The Conservation Fund announce the conservation of Tolland Ranch in an important victory for wildlife habitat and public land access. Located in Gilpin and Boulder counties, the 3,314-acre property is critical habitat for elk, deer, and moose, and the access to South Boulder Creek and 16 ponds will provide anglers with new fishing opportunities. β€œThis is a major win for Colorado and our commitment to protecting our natural resources, wildlife, and iconic outdoors,” said Governor Jared Polis. β€œColorado is a leader in outdoor recreation and conservation, expanding public access to some of Colorado’s natural treasures like Fishers Peak, Pikes Peak, and many more. I am excited to protect Tolland Ranch, creating a new State Wildlife Area to protect an important wildlife habitat, and create more outdoor recreation opportunities for all Coloradans to enjoy.” The Conservation Fund acquired the property from private owners and conveyed it to CPW in order to conserve the habitat for future generations. CPW is developing a management plan to operate Tolland Ranch as a State Wildlife Area (SWA), which prioritizes access for hunting, fishing, and wildlife viewing recreationists, and will evaluate opening the property to limited...

They’ll do this smear campaign to every country if they don’t go all in for trumps war. Trump will do something to force NATO to have to join. You watch. This man wants & will not stop until he has his WWIII. I too live in Europe & yes the Trump Admin is a ship of fools that’s laughed at. It’s sad,

If you allow yourself to become a victim of retaliatory terrorism, that’s on you. Trump likes innocent Americans who aren’t killed. M’Kay?

I’m a little confused because the economists on my timeline are like β€œoh yeah we’re facing a generational energy crisis because Trump is a madman who started a war he can’t control” while the politicians are like β€œit’s important to make clear we support the troops until it all blows over next week”

One imagines an individual Biden pardoned, subsequently given a life sentence for child sexual abuse, would be the source of a trove of editorials and think pieces about the disgraced Democratic Party, and not given the current Trump shrug.
